My Turn to Keep Him It was my fifth year with Ethan , my sugar daddy .
The big shot , the guy who ran the city , had just gone belly up .
To make sure Id be okay , he bought me this beautiful house his last asset .
QUOZO Looking at Ethan , with absolutely nothing left , I ruffled his hair .
You silly guy , I said , after all this time , now its my turn to take care of you .

I was soaking in the tub of the mansion Ethan ^ had just bought me , when my phone started blowing up .
Hey , Riley , you okay ? Riley , did you see ? Ethans company went bankrupt! Riley , if youre bummed , lets go out and have some fun .
I scrolled through the messages and then checked Twitter .
It was all over the trending list .
So thats why Ethan hadnt called for days .
It wasnt that hed moved on .
Hed just been dealing with a huge mess .
I lathered up , taking a deep breath .
Halfway through my bath , the phone rang .

ᄀ Riley! Ethans broke ! Whos gonna protect you now ? Dads sick , you need to come home and help with his care .
Maybe then hell let you come back .
Or youll have to figure out where youre gonna live .
It was my half- sister , Heathers , voice , dripping with satisfaction .
Dad was sick , huh ? I should probably go see him .
Fine , Ill come say goodbye to Dad .
As for taking care of him , Heathers your girl .
After all , he had always favored her .
Since Ethan wasnt calling me , Id go to him .
See how he was doing .
I made his favorite BBQ ribs , packed them Г www Just as I reached his office , I heard voices .
Ethan , we should get married .
My dad would definitely throw some money your way as his future son in law , to help you get back on your feet .
Ethans cold voice replied , No , thanks , Tiffany .
I think you should leave .

Is that woman really so great ? Is she worth watching everything you worked for go down the drain ? Have you even thought about your mother ? Nobody cares about you now except me .
Youre still hung up on her ! Tiffanys voice rose , cracking with anger .
Ethan didnt hesitate .
This is my problem , Tiffany .
Please dont get involved .
く I kicked the door open , my high heels clicking on the floor .
Honey , I missed you ! I got you your favorite ribs .
Ethan smiled , ruffling my hair .
I opened the container and started feeding him .
Tiffany , fuming , slammed the door on her way out , muttering , Youll regret this , Ethan ! 3 .
I told Ethan my dad was sick .
He looked me in the eye , serious .
Do you want to go see him ? If you dont want to , we dont have to .
Of course , Im going .
He was so cold leaving < Mom , now hes getting whats coming to him .
I want to see it .
Ethan started packing his stuff .
Ill come with you .
I stared at his red rimmed eyes .
Honey , is there anything you need to tell me ? He hesitated , then shook his head .
He couldnt bring himself to tell me the extent of it .
I smiled , running my fingers through his messy hair .
He stopped me , holding my hand .
Riley , I promise , once Ive worked everything out , Ill tell you .

Tiffany went back to her ex , a jerk named Chad , and they got engaged .
Together , their families were actively trying to destroy Ethan .
I went out for some retail therapy , wanting to buy some treats for Ethan .
He looked like he was running on fumes .
I had barely stepped into the mall when Chad stopped me , dragging me to a quiet corner .
Riley , Ethan is done , broke and selling everything he owns .
Do you regret not being with me ? く No matter how long it had been since I saw Chad , he was just as slimy .
When my Dad left and my Mom died of a broken heart , I went to a bar .
I drank too much and got really drunk .
Chad , smoking , with a girl on each arm , had found me .
Hey there , young thing , youre cute ! Ill keep you, no worries .
Leave me alone , I had said , finally showing some spunk .
Chad pressed in , I had no room to run , I was backed against a wall .
Leave me alone , I had said , finally showing some spunk .
Chad pressed in , I had no room to run , I was backed against a wall .
I was ready to give up , no one cared about me anymore .
No one was going to help me .
Mom was gone .
